Another great card made with the Happy Together stamp set. You know I love the mother quail but aren't these babies so cute. Make your cards pop by paper piecing like with this flower, it is stamped on a piece of Poppy Parade, cut out and attached with a dimensional. A bit of bling thanks to our self adhesive rhinestones (119246) adds that perfect sparkle.
Happy Stamping,
Figured it out?
Think back to TV in the early 70's? Little partridges following each other, that's right! The Partridge Family. We never had cable growing up so it was one of the few shows we got and this set always makes my head start singing, trust me it's better than my mouth!!!
Simple card
with a bit of punch. The bird is stamped in Early Expresso onto Whisper White and then punched out using the 1 3/8" circle punch and then layered onto a Scalloped Circle punched out of Old Olive retired DSP. The card base is Whisper White 4 x 4 with all corners rounded and then a 3 7/8" square of Old Olive with rounded corners. A 2" band of Early Expresso anchors the focal image. Now I didn't add a sentiment, I can add one later or just use the card like this.
Happy Stamping,
are a wonderful change from your regular 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 cards. Use 12 x 12 cardstock sheets and get 8 from one sheet of cardstock so they are very economical to make as well. I just love this set, Happy Together and it makes a great 3 x 6 card
Yes, using up more of the retiring cardstock, Barely Banana and Mellow Moss. The ribbon is a Sale-a-bration one from a few years ago and is So Saffron, but seems to work really well with this combo.
Happy Stamping,
A couple of days ago I showed a quick and easy note card and I just love the design so had to use it again. This time, I make little notecards for my Mum. My Mum and Dad are heading to China in just over a week for their fourth time and I know that they will be seeing alot of the friends that they have made there over the years so I thought they might like little cards.
I used the stamp set Happy Together, yes, I got it FREE from Sale-a-bration!
Aren't the little birds cute? Now knowing that symbolism is big in China I first checked and found out Quail stands for Courage so it is ok to use. The cards themselves are Real Red and matted with more Real Red that I have ran through the Big Shot with Perfect Polka Dots Impression folder.
I used the small pictres and stamped them on Whisper White with Close to Cocoa ink and then punched out with 1 1/4" circle punch then layered onto 1 3/8" Real Red then onto a Brushed Gold Scalloped Circle. I wound Gold Elastic cord around the Perfect Polka dot layer and attached the Scalloped Circle with Dimensionals covering the cord.
Then I needed envelopes so made them from last year's Sale-a-bration paper and here is the whole set together.
Super easy, super cute.
Happy Stamping,
